PYONGYANG MARATHON TOUR 2014
Hi,
I only have positive things to say about all of it and was really surprised how well organized and how good the atmosphere of the run was - clearly they were out to impress us ! I have done many city marathons and this counts as one of the best experiences. The tour and all other logistics were also fine, with no material hiccups at all. (TM, Hong Kong)
Morning !
I have just arrived in Beijing by train and checked into a hotel. So glad I took the train out. This trip has been the best tour I have ever taken ! Normally I would like to travel independently but this one is completely different. I was in Nick's group and we had a really good mix of interesting people. It has been really fascinating and I have been pleasantly surprised by almost everything. The marathon race was really fun and I think the 10 km race was 10 times better than the Hong Kong one. I have taken tons of pictures and videos and I think there are some you would like ! I want to go back next year try to run a better time.
Even though this tour was really short, we managed to fit a long itinerary in a few days, as well as the marathon. Our group luckily briefly participated in a mass dance in front of the Monument of Party Foundation. It was fun !
The most unexpected things in this trip were that we experienced a traffic jam in Pyongyang and that our Korean guides were quite relaxed in everything, which made our tour less strict and more enjoyable.
Thanks for getting me on the tour and for all the effort you made to promote it to us - appreciate it a lot !! Cheers !! (EN, Hong Kong)
